The Kabbalistic Promise of Passover, the month of Nissan, and Joshua

The Arizal promised that whomever would be careful with chametz during Passover would not sin all year long. How could he make this promise and in what merit. Rav Ginsburgh discusses the background of this statement, how it is understood in Chassidic thought. He then goes on to talk about the figure of Joshua, Moses’ successor and his special relationship with the month of Nissan.
